Template:Vte
|
This template is used on a large number of pages.
In order to prevent unnecessary server load, edits should be kept to a minimum. Please experiment in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpage, or in your own sandbox, and consider discussing your changes on the talk page before applying them.

This template adds a set of three links to a page, one to the page, one to its talk page, and one to edit it. They are appear in a small font size, with minimal text.
It is intended to be added to templates, to provide easy access to the template from a page it is transcluded into.
Usage
At the most basic, you will likely only need to place
{{vte|{{subst:PAGENAME}}}}
onto the template.
If, for whatever reason, you wish to make the links apply to a different page, replace {{subst:PAGENAME}} with the name of the page.
The colour of the links can be changed via the second parameter. For example, to have white links, add
{{vte|{{subst:PAGENAME}}|#ffffff}}
The namespace of the linked-to pages can be changed with the third parameter. If not included, it defaults to "Template". Usually you would just need
{{vte|{{subst:PAGENAME}}||{{subst:NAMESPACE}}}}
To change the namespace and colour, place the colour code in the middle:
{{vte|{{subst:PAGENAME}}|#ffffff|{{subst:NAMESPACE}}}}
